So, What's The Answer?: Ano Nga Ba Talaga Ang Art?

This document discusses different theories and perspectives on what constitutes art. It presents ideas that true art is aesthetic beauty, hedonism, rooted in emotion, and expressivism. It also suggests that art is primarily a sensual medium that expresses ideas about human experience and the world. Additionally, it notes that sometimes art is determined by what is beautiful, but that idea of beauty is being questioned in modern times and is conditioned by culture and social position. The document explores what makes art valuable and suggests we focus on what makes artworks good rather than defining art's essence.
